but it's not gonna watch your back. I bought this chair to help with my posture and minimise the back pain I sometimes get from prolonged sitting. the ball is supposed to "force" your back into an upright position and prevent slumping.as the previous review states, if you sit on it too long you will become uncomfortably sweaty. also, this ball & chair frame did not help MY posture at all. the back 'rest' was pointless. if you decide sit against the back of the chair... the ball will roll uncomfortably forward, creating an akward and deep "ditch" but you probably won't want to use the backrest for long due to it's flimsy feel.
the frame itself looks yard-sale cheap. I do not believe this chair is worth more then $50 at the most ($30 for the frame $20 for the ball)
if you want something to sit on, the ball ALONE (or with a stabilizer)works so much better.
If you're good, you can find a decent ball for $10 or a good one for $20.
as for my chair, you'll find it offered for $20 bucks at my next yard sale.
